Is Furnished Finders still worth it?

Question

I just renewed my property on the website and I am wondering what everyone is thinking these days?

I have gotten about 30% from them and 70% from Airbnb. So I want to keep it going but not sure how much longer it's gonna be viable for my properties.

Jonathan Styer · Answer

I think it's worth it. We manage many mid term properties in the Columbus, OH area, and while we do not get all our bookings from FF, for $100 a year it's a no brainer. Those are bookings we would not have gotten if we weren't on FF.

We list our properties on AirBNB, VRBO, Google Vacation Rentals, Furnished Finder and our Direct Booking website. Short and mid term rentals are marketed 24/7, the more you're out there, the more you'll make.

Agreed. I mostly get medical professionals interested in booking one bedrooms or studios. I love the quality of folks I get with FF.

Hey Brett, although Furnished Finder is still worth it. I would expand to market on other sites. Facebook and Zillow would be two I recommend as most rent seeking tenants do not know that furnished finder exists let along use it to book their stays.

Yeah the website is clunky to use, needs better search and sort options

Brett Deas · Answer

What I mean is, is it still worth the cost to find tenants?

Hello all ~

I'm a newbie here.  Been on the sidelines for over a year now.  Have put a handful of offers out and get beat out by cash buyers, which I am not, nor do I have a lot of capital.  Was initially looking into STR's but have been really intrigued by the MTR's.  I've just been all over the map and really haven't zeroed in on an area.  Any suggestions for MTR's?  The traveling nurses is what peaked my interest but just need to zero in on an area.  I know there are all kinds of people willing to help but I already got burned to the tune of $10K and am now trying to go it alone to get my feet wet.  Thanks in advance for any insight you all could offer - it would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Airbnb is working much better for me than FF. The MTR rates on are too low and Airbnb has more eyeballs.

It's just one of the mediums to use. I like FF for general posting, reaching out direct to local companies and staffing agencies, AirBNB/Google Vacation Rentals/VRBO/Booking.com and then ALE/CRS. It's just all about networking!
